Yes, you read that headline right!

State Alchemy Exam (available on adultswim.com is a wonderful way to kill some spare time when you don't have a console or WoW available.

The object of the game is to complete your state alchemy exam by completing a transmutation. This is accomplished by inserting six different symbols into six concentric rings separated into six wedge shapes.

Chances are, if you've ever worked a sudoku puzzle, you can see now where the resemblance is. You cannot duplicate a symbol in any ring, wedge or section (which are conveniently highlighted for you when you mouse over any empty space).

I've only played, so far, on the normal level (there are also hard and expert levels, as well), so keep that in mind as I give more details.

As a fan of the show (the anime TV series Fullmetal Alchemsit), I'm fairly pleased with the feel of the game in how it keeps with the feeling and story of the show.

Great thing about this game: when you complete a ring, wedge or section correctly, the game does a cute little animation and changes the colors of the glyphs from black (for the ones you're given at the start of the game) or blue (the ones that you put into place as you play) to green!

Could be improved: some of the symbols that you're working with are very similar, and it can be a little confusing to keep track of which ones you've input without carefully looking at the symbols already in the puzzle (especially in the smaller rings) before you click to input one.
